2013 Land Rover Freelander 2.2L Diesel · DX13 HHV

The vehicle maintains a technically roadworthy status following its most recent pass in December 2025 at 104,605 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach, with owners addressing specific faults only after they trigger MOT failures. While the vehicle passed the latest inspection without recorded advisories, the recurring pattern of suspension and brake component degradation suggests that mechanical parts are serviced until the point of failure rather than being replaced on scheduled intervals. At 104,605 miles, this 13-year-old Freelander shows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 8,000 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The record shows steady annual mileage accumulation with tests occurring roughly every December. There is a notable gap in data between February 2021 and December 2021, where the vehicle covered only 1,754 miles in ten months. The low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from age-related wear on rubber components and suspension bushings, which is evident in the test history. A buyer must focus inspection on the front and rear suspension, as the record shows persistent issues with anti-roll bar linkages and track rod ends. Faults flagged in 2019, 2020, and 2022 indicate a history of worn ball joints and linkages. The 2023 failure for a nearside track rod end with play further confirms that the steering geometry is prone to wear. A physical inspection should check for excessive play in all wish arms and signs of fatigue in the anti-roll bar bushings. The braking system also shows signs of neglect, evidenced by the 2021 failure for significantly worn front inner brake discs and thin pads. The multiple advisories in 2021 and 2024 regarding tyres worn to the legal limit or uneven edges suggest potential alignment issues or delayed tyre maintenance. The buyer should verify the current depth of the brake material and check for uneven wear on the discs to ensure the issues are not recurring since the last service.
